L&T's arm dispatches mega tubular reactors to overseas plants

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on Tuesday said that its heavy engineering arm has dispatched two large ethylene oxide reactors, weighing 1,200 tonnes each, from Hazira, Gujarat to a large petrochemical complex overseas.

This was a repeat order after four identical reactors were supplied by L&T to the same client in 2020, during the first wave, the company said in a press release.

"Such a repeat order is testimony of our unique ability to handle these large & complex equipment and customer's confidence in our reliable delivery performance even during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic," Anil V Parab, member L&T Executive Committee, Senior VP & Head Heavy Engineering said.

The reactors were manufactured at L&T's heavy engineering complex located at Hazira near Surat.

These highly complex reactors are crucial equipment for production of mono ethylene glycol in the petrochemical complex.

"Our focus on high-end products, in-house development of distinctive manufacturing technologies and various digitalisation initiatives have helped us to become a reliable partner to our clientele. Delivering such key equipment to our client, meeting all the requisite international quality and safety standards, is a matter of great pride for us," Parab said.
